Blog: Advice

I believe Baruch College should be more active on Youtube. Currently the Baruch Youtube page is very inactive. I believe there's a lot that the school offers that can be showcased via videos. For example, Baruch can have a video explaining all of the different minors that the school offers. In addition this can be done for Majors and why Baruch is so special. Most of the videos that are up on the official Baruch Youtube Page are very outdated. Some of them are 6-8 years old. In addition, Youtube is a great platform to attract young prospects. As more and more people use new media, the more people will seek for answers on it and videos are a great way to take advantage of this. Likewise videos on Youtube are also a great way for Baruch to display the culture it promotes.

BLOG: Blog v Wiki

Wikis and Blogs are very similar, however their is one key difference that is notable. The biggest difference is that wikis are made from collaborative effort among many people whereas a blog is usually created by an individual. With a wiki you have multiple users sharing, creating, and editing the content. The biggest and most popular wiki in the world is Wikipedia. This fact comes from Wikipedia itself. According to InformationWeek, the name wiki is derived from the name wiki-wiki which is a Hawaiian word for quick. Wikis are perceived as "open-source" projects because anyone with permission can create or edit as they wish. Interestingly, some companies use wikis to operate. Generally small businesses use wiki however there are still some big companies like Nokia who use wikis to facilitate information.
